Came home from work today to find my renewed passport waiting for me in the mail! Pretty quick turnaround too renewing by mail... just over 3 weeks with standard processing.
It feels damn good to have this in my hands. Though I had enough cash saved up to head abroad, I still didn't have the passport, so I suppose I technically wasn't free to go. Now, however, I am truly FREE and clear to depart whenever I want!
It's been a long road but the end is in sight. All I have to do now is sell my cars and the rest of my stuff and save up a bit more cash from work and I should have a SERIOUSLY nice chunk of change, enough to sustain me comfortably for 2+ years abroad were I totally unemployed the entire time. Assuming I'll find work within a few months (after having a lot of fun... haha) I'll have a nice base to build on, get a house with, etc etc...
Just want to spread some cheer and good will to my brethren!
Hope your preps are going well. Soon, my friends...
